    • A candidate for city comptroller in New York claims he fights for civil rights and grew up working in sweatshops. In fact, John Liu, who faces the voters next Tuesday in what is reported to be a tight race, has never worked in a sweatshop and has refused to speak out for civil or labor rights in prominent cases in New York.
    • But the key to Liu’s political career is not his stand on rights. The key to his career is his close ties to the Chinese regime, whose media outlets have worked hard to promote him.

    The United Front is a strategy that uses overseas Chinese to infiltrate foreign politics and establish community associations, business groups, and media that promote the interests of the CCP around the world. These groups plant or transform political and community leaders who act as agents of influence for the regime.\n\nThe umbrella organization, the United Front Work Department, sits under the CCP Central Committee and is part of an intelligence operation that harks back to 1935. Three pillars make up the United Front efforts under each consulate abroad: Chinese community associations, student associations, and media and propaganda.

    John Liu's corner stone campaign story turn out to be untrue. Powerful emotional ads on TV tout about childhood experience of working in sweatshop, yet parents and parents friends given as evidence of the story said otherwise.\nBesides, this is a 2009 story of John Lu. Lots of biographical stories written about him in 2001 when he was the first Asian American elected New York city council. He had never told the sweatshop story then. The sweatshop is Liu's 2009 story, and it is changing again.

    • THE FACTS ABOUT JOHN LIU


      FACT: John Liu held his September 29th victory party at the lower Manhattan headquarters for the United Federation of Teachers, one of Liu's powerful labor supporter.

      FACT: In his victory address last night, it took Liu more than 20 minutes to thank all the labor and special interest groups who supported him.



      FACT: Liu's Working Family Party endorsement means that he is supported and funded by ACORN, the far left wing special interest group which has been accused of trying to circumvent campaign finance rules.



      FACT: The Working Family Party was instrumental in turning out voters in yesterday's run-off. Given the low turnout overall, the efforts of the Working family Party were crucial to Liu's victory. Liu is therefore indebted to ACORN and the Working Family Party.



      FACT: Liu has backed just about every proposed tax and spend scheme to keep money flowing to the unions and other backers of ACORN and the Working Family Party that support him.



      With facts like these:



      How can Liu be an honest auditor of city agencies and unions?



      How can Liu overcome these conflicts of interest?



      How can Liu say he will invest our pension funds without catering to the special interests to which he owes so much?



      How will Liu ever be able turn his back on those who carried him to this point in his political career?
